Executive ministers met on Thursday at Stormont Castle, which houses the Northern Ireland Executive on the outskirts of the Northern Irish capital, to discuss recent scenes of violent disorder on the streets of Belfast.
The Northern Ireland Assembly was also recalled with members of the legislative assembly (MLAs) returning from summer recess to debate a motion on the scenes which followed an anti-immigration protest last weekend.
They MLAs backed a motion condemning the recent disorder and rejecting "all forms of racism" in Northern Ireland.
